Discover how easy it is to bring your community event to life with Banyule Council's comprehensive support. Whether you're planning a music festival, wedding, school fête, or neighbourhood street party, the council helps you navigate permits, regulations, and safety standards to make your event a success.
Planning your event starts with understanding the type of gathering you want to host. Neighbourhood street parties offer a fantastic way to connect with your neighbours through casual activities like games and music, often requiring temporary road closures. Larger events with more attendees or complex setups have additional requirements, including permits and safety documentation.
Expect a clear, step-by-step process from proposal to approval, including quick responses and detailed consultations with event officers. You will receive guidance on necessary permits, bonds, and documentation to ensure your event complies with all regulations.
- Submit your event proposal at least 4 weeks before your event date for most gatherings.
- Larger events with over 5000 attendees or significant structures require 7-8 weeks notice.
- The council will assess your proposal within 5 business days and follow up with detailed consultations.
- Supporting materials such as risk management and emergency plans will be required.
Banyule Council manages most parks, reserves, and bushlands, but some areas are under Victorian Government control. Knowing the ownership of your event site is crucial. For street parties, consult VicRoads regarding road authority. If you plan to hire council venues or halls, separate booking procedures apply.
- Temporary road closures may be part of your event, especially for street parties.
- Food trucks and large structures are not permitted at neighbourhood street parties.
- Refundable bonds may apply depending on your event's scale and requirements.
- The council is committed to inclusivity, equity, and community wellbeing.
Event permits and bonds vary based on event size and complexity. The proposal form will indicate any fees and refundable bonds applicable. Early submission of your proposal ensures timely processing and support from council officers.
For more detailed planning, the council provides guides and checklists to assist with risk assessments and emergency management.
